55 DoctorsAnjali Saxena, a 28-year-old marketing executive,...
Anjali Saxena, a 28-year-old marketing executive, had been struggling with a cluster of small, rough warts on the knuckles of her right hand for over six months. As someone who frequently presented in client meetings and shook hands, she became increasingly self-conscious, often keeping her hand in her pocket or folded. The warts were painless but spread slightly. Her dermatologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended cryotherapy (freezing with liquid nitrogen) as a quick and effective first-line treatment. During the brief procedure, Anjali felt a sharp stinging and cold sensation, but it was tolerable. Over the next week, the treated areas formed small blisters that dried into scabs and fell off. Within two weeks, the warts were completely gone, leaving only faint pink marks that faded. Anjali's journey moved from anxiety and social embarrassment to immense relief and regained confidence, allowing her to interact freely without hiding her hand.
